I opened my eyes to a big lighthouse-like structure in the middle of what seems to be a very small market. A fat dwarf lighthouse that looks like all the funds went to building its base. It’s complete but it feels like the creator planned for it to be taller but ran out of money and just forced it to be completed.
I tried walking towards it to investigate but I heard movements around me so I looked around and that’s when I noticed 4 other people beside me.
‘Ohhh, my friends!’
“‘Sup, motherfuckers!.” I said and a smooth, sweet voice came out, it was gentle and soothing, greatly contradicting the crude and rough greeting.
I’m pretty sure I talked to them but they didn’t seem to hear me and just ran towards the forest at the back of the lighthouse.
When I followed them I saw the forest that has three trails leading to what seems to be the exit because as I look around, there’s only walls of trees surrounding this market, literally.
After seconds of waiting beside the fountain and taking note of the stalls nearby, no one came back but a rough voice was heard from the forest…
“MOV! MF!”
[Pimpy532 was killed by an enemy tower.]
What’s this guy’s problem? Wait, killed…?
“...is he talking to me?”
“F YEA!”
“Eh? Um… okay…”
‘F? Does he mean ‘fuck’? Seriously, using chat abbreviations in real life conversations? Cringe.’
I walked around the fountain and looked at the products the stalls had.
Armor… sword… arrow… grape juice…

After a while, I stopped walking and talked to the rough voice from the forest again.
“I already moved around!”
“...”
I yelled but no one answered.
“Anybody there?”
“...”
Where did he–

“R U FUCKING KIDING ME!? GUYS! WHITE FLAG! DIS GAME A WASTE OF TIME! U ALL WORTHLES!”
‘Ugh, I can’t take this anymore.’
[BRICKFAST was killed by an enemy hero.]
[sakamadika was killed by an enemy hero.]
“Are you a child!? Can’t you speak properly!? Your grammar’s a fucking mess!”
[Our archer tower is under attack!]
‘Shit, I couldn’t control my anger because of the alcoh– wait, alcohol…?’
“Kyahaha, now, now. Everyone, don’t fight. If we give up, our reputation will go down. Besides, we can still win with just the four of us.”
While I was thinking of what happened before I got here, a cute voice of a child interrupted my thoughts.
“Five, I mean five. Right?”
‘Are they underestimating me?’
“Yo–”
[Pimpy532 was killed by an enemy cannon.]
I tried voicing out my dissatisfaction but the loud deep voice of a man resonated throughout the forest once again.
‘What was that?’
“GOD HOW DD U GET KILLD BY SOMETHNG LIKE DAT?”
Here he comes again…
“Sigh, Visia, can you defend the outer wall of the right wing?”
“Um… okay.”
Not knowing what to do, I, who was still left confused, just followed what the cute voice said.
I went to the right path to enter the woods and looked around while I was running.
Tap-tap
Tap-tap
I noticed other clearings that might lead to other parts of this forest but there was only one that seemed to be frequented by people due to its lack of grass and it leads to a stone structure.
As I approached the stone tower at the end of that trail, I noticed another tower in the far distance, this time it was made of wood.
Fuck, how far do I have to run to reach the outer wall? Is this even the right wing? Why did I run here anyway? As if I know what they’re talking about. I just got here. Who the heck is Visia anyway… Talking to me like I’m– Wait… am I Visia?
After reaching the stone structure, I looked at the other one in the far distance. I've been feeling that something is strange for a while now, but I can’t figure out what.
‘What is it, really?’
‘I said alcohol but I didn’t drink any earlier, I… what did I do earlier…?’
Slowly, I lost myself in my messy trail of thoughts.
‘Who am I?’
‘I am… Visia, that’s right, I am Visia. One of the greatest human assassins, known for my patience and skills in assassinating a target.’
‘So what should I do now?’
‘I should wake u– no, I should fight! Kill all the opponents and escape this game created by the gods.’
As I was confused by the things going on inside my head, I noticed that the tower I was staring at was slowly being destroyed by yellowish-brown things.
I quickly ran to help the archers shooting arrows from above that structure and saw that the enemies were ‘things’ made of wood.
The woods were shaped like humans, one has a sword while the other one has a glowing stick. At the back of these two was a wooden cart with a wooden cannon on top.
The damage they were dealing to the tower was minimal due to the sloppy equipment made of wood but it was still greatly damaged, probably because of the repeated beating.
I reacted quickly and rushed towards the attacker, feeling as if it is my duty to protect the tower.
I swung my dagger at the swordsman, aiming at the joint between its head and torso. The dagge–
‘Dagger…? What am I doing…? Where did this come from…?’
While I was overcome by confusion, the head of the wooden ‘puppet’ flew off.
‘What happened? The slash earlier just chipped off a fraction of its neck but now its head is flying off?’
‘Wait shit, what about the others, if they saw their comrade’s head flew off, they’ll target me! Fuck!’
But my anxiety was unfounded as the mage-like puppet continued exchanging blows with the archer on top of the tower.
It continued attacking and breaking the now almost destroyed base of the wooden tower along with the cannon as if they had no care for what happened to the other one.
Swish
I tried testing the water by attacking the last humanoid puppet but it didn’t react.
Now, confident that I won’t be targeted, I relaxed a little bit and continued my attacks as well.
As I relaxed my body, and let it do whatever it wanted, an unexpected thing happened.
Swish
The neck of the last humanoid puppet was penetrated by my dagger.
Like a puppet that got its strings cut, it fell down and slowly disappeared like the swordsman earlier.
“Hah? Haha… HAHAHA… HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Well, isn’t this fun? HAHAHAHA”
“WAT HAPEND 2 DAT CRAZ BASTARD?”
‘Isn’t this easy? I just need to destroy these things? Next!’
Driven by excitement, I rushed to the wooden cannon and attacked it.
Whoosh
Thwack
‘Huh?’
Feeling my body slowly falling backwards and losing its balance, I looked around and that's when I saw a man putting away a bow and taking out a dagger. The last thing I remember as my vision slowly darkens was the dagger’s cross guard and hilt sticking out of my left chest and arrow tails growing from my body.
